What are other open field coursers running in your area or a similar area, they've no doubt tried various purebreds and crossbreds, and settled on the most suited. Or which of your hounds is most suited. Saluki is going to feature somewhere...

Yes all different tipes of cross breed . Saluki over track is most popular but if bin in UK and Ireland and would not underestimate a lurcher

WTF would we know living in England. We would just be guessing. We don’t have the same dogs, game, weather or terrain??

tbh I don’t think none of us English guys could really help as we’ve not got springbuck over here most Lurchers over here are not really a match for a hare most are just general purpose type rabbit dogs lamping/ferreting there are fox dogs over here but most of them are not really speedsters as such there more the heavy set type for the job ideal to be chucked out the back of a motor there are a few racey bred deer dogs about there not a set type same with our all round type dogs there not a set type there just dogs that are masters of none then there’s the hare catchers that tend to be Salukis or saluki longdogs 

if I was to take a punt on a English dog for the job I’d say something on the lines of saluki greyhound bull greyhound x saluki greyhound 

Thanks . For the advice

Sounds like you have the start of your own lurchers. Can't see them being much different to UK and Ireland dogs. And none of them are "perfect" ?

There used to be a guy who posted on here from SA, he ran some serious looking dogs and the kind of game you are talking about and some heavier quarry. It would be worth searching the topics to see what comes up. 

In the meantime put some pictures up of the dogs and quarry you are running now?

I imagine the closest style I've seen is what the aussie lads do and they swear by deerhound greyhounds, I'm sure some lads run them on coyotes in the states to

Staghounds they call them

Dan Edwards used to post about his coyote dogs on here

Must be too busy at the domino club, and yoga classes to grace the riff raff with his presence nowadays ?

      Help Required as to ancestry /history of my saluki /Greyhound. 
      I have just lost my dog of a lifetime to cancer, she was 11/12 yrs old.I am truly heartbroken. 
      I'm not a hunter,but have always loved sight hounds in particular salukis.
      My dog Fern was a very distinguishable sighthound ,her colouring alone a mutated dilute. Was quite a show stopper. I'd have people literally stopping cars to ask what she was as she held herself well and looked awesome. 
      She was Steel and tan with a white butterfly on chest. White tips on feet. 
      Fur like velvet and shone.
      A glamourous looking dog.
      She passed through I believe 5 lurcher men before coming to me age around 4 yrs. 
      I had her 8 yrs. 
      I have  sketchy details of her young life and know she was initially used as a racing dog and then a lampers dog. Until she hurt her spine and broke a toe.  
      Fern was born around 2009,lived in North East England (Northumberland).
      I believe she had two litters of puppies (do you have one?)
      Lived Winlaton, Mickley,Prudhoe , Ryton, Greenside, Horsley.
      I believe her father (sire) may of being khan jihad. 
      I believe her mother (dam) was a steel greyhound and was a Irish coursing champion.  
      Does anyone know who that might be?
      Who bred Fern?
      Does her heritage fit time scale wise?
      I would dearly love to know as I said, totally in bits at her loss. 
      I just want to try and recreate her or seek out someone who might be able too from same lineage. 
      Whilst I'm not a hunter, I turned Fern from huntress to helper in that I used her skills and abilities to bring deer out to me to photograph, as I'm a professional photographer. We were quite a team. 
      I just loved everything about that girl.
      Thanks for any help received.

      What in your opinions would be the best thing to breed a deerhound/greyhound to but still looking to keep size and speed just something nice to throw into the mix or even more greyhound what do you lot think?...
      Cheers
